Secluded Flat Right in the Bustling Heart of Prenzlauer Berg

This lovely apartment was perfectly situated in a great neighborhood that was quiet but close to tons of cafes, coffee shops, restaurants, public transportation and more. It was an hour walk to the Tiergarten and less to Mitte. We did not need a car at all. The apartment was clean and had a small set of the basics in the kitchen and bathroom. Nothing fancy but minimalist, which is just the way we like it. They were welcoming of our well traveled Frenchie, Max and he had a great time in Berlin as well. It is a very dog friendly city. The apartment managers were responsive and kind. Overall a great experience!

We loved this Prenzlauer Berg apartment. It was a perfect location for those who are energetic and want to tour Berlin on foot. The ceilings are so high and so are the windows. It is nice and quiet with a nice living/dining space, an adequate small kitchen and the best bathtub I have had the pleasure of bathing in for many years. The tv did not work, though that did not bother us. The hookup to the wifi was only made difficult by the VERY long password printed so small that it took us 3 tries with our reading glasses (age 61) to get it right. The apartment was a bit dusty, but otherwise, just a great place to stay!

This was a great apartment and location. It was on the ground floor and opened to a inner courtyard so we didn't get the street noise. It is in old East Berlin which is a busy place with lots of restaurants. Public Transportation was very close, however, we walked almost everyplace (I would rather walk for 30 minutes than stand waiting for the tram or Metro.). Our host was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

We have been renting short term apartments for over 25 years when our son was born and hotel rooms did not seem adequate anymore. This rental will be on top of our list. If you want an authentic Berlin feeling, this is the place. The apartment was clean, tastefully decorated and in a great neighborhood. We spent 12 days here. The kitchen is equipped with basics, but we are finicky eaters and found a grocery store close by. We cooked almost every night because we so enjoyed the place. If you are more of the "eating out" crowd, many restaurants in the area plus a "rotisserie" with great roasted chicken called "Rosa" or something like that. Certainly recommend this place to those who want to explore authentic Berlin although the tourist attractions are a few subway stops away and you can even go by foot, more or less 30 to 40 minutes. Also a must on the weekend, the Mauer park flea market. Want to mention Mena who nicely greeted us and gave us all the pertinent info and the owners who always answered our emails when we had a question. All in all a great stay in Berlin.

Location of apartment was great. Apartment itself was fine. Main problem was in dealing with Marc. After arrival I wrote him a list of problems along with suggestions for improvements in instructions for future renters. The two biggest problems were that we couldn't get the tv to work and there were tons of misquotes inside--we killed about 40 on arrival. Marc's response was he thought I was homesick and what did I want him to do about all of this. I wrote back next to each item either "suggestion for future renter" or "please help" with tv and misquito problem. He never responded back. I am a VBRO owner myself and was appalled at his one response, then lack of response.
